Will Python work like this:
I am trying to come up with an example and work to it. Say I want a
Grocery list and it will have a maximum size of 50 items.
I want to do this with one list.
Make a list of 0-50.
Then can I add to that list so the second item will hold something
like cheese, eggs, milk.
Say then I want to add the price of cheese, eggs and milk.
Say then I want to add another list of price of cheese, eggs milk from
another store.
Can this be done starting with just a list of numbers from 0-50?
Please no hints, just answer directly how it is done.
for store in range (50):
print store
How can I add to store where it looks like this:
(0,cheese, 1,eggs 2,milk , 3-50,blank for now)
The grocery list would be a list of the things you want to buy.
There are a number of stores, so that would be a list of stores. For
each store you want the price of each item, so that would be a dict
where the key is the item and the value is the price of that item. That
means it would be a list of dicts.
Does that help?
No. I am pretty new to Python.
For starters I would like to know if you can make a single item list
and then turn it into a 2 item list. Is there a command for that?
Do you have to know the number of items the list will have before
making it?
Python doesn't have commands and no. Perhaps you'd care to (re)read the
tutorial.
